The Worlds Of Film, Television, Comedy, And Comics Collide In This New Three Issue Goon Anthology Series!

A few of the more notable names in comedic film and television join forces with comicsâ best and brightest to bring you a hilarious new perspective on the world of Eric Powell's The Goon, in this new three-part, black-and-white anthology series.When asked what possessed him to turn over the reins to one of comics' most rapidly growing series, Eric Powell says, "Dwight Albatross said he wanted to do a Goon anthology just to show how many people could do the Goon better than me. I threatened to smack him in the face with a cast-iron skillet but then he said he already had Mike Ploog and Kevin Nolan interested. Seeing those guys draw the Goon sounded like a good idea, even from Dwight."

In the first issue, humor expert Patton Oswalt (Comedy Centralâs Comedians of Comedy and Mr. Show) whoâs no stranger to comics (Bizarro Comics, JLA), scribes a short story of Goonâs sidekick Franky, while legendary artist Mike Ploog (Werewolf by Night, Ghost Rider) provides the art.

And thatâs just fer starters! Also included is a gooey helping of other short stories by the likes of Steve Niles and Ryan Sook, Bongo Comicsâ own Bill Morrison, and the first in a string of serialized shorts from series creator Eric Powell and frequent co-conspirators Tom Sniegoski and Mark Farmer.
